Mining Rehabilitation Fund to undergo review

  • Independent review to determine effectiveness of Mining Rehabilitation Fund
  • Fund has successfully restored a number of abandoned mines

Mines and Petroleum Minister Bill Johnston has announced Marsden Jacob Associates will review the Mining Rehabilitation Fund (MRF) to ensure it continues to meet its objectives and sufficient financial reserves are available.

The State Government uses the MRF if a mine operator is unable to meet their rehabilitation obligations and the site is declared abandoned.

Marsden Jacob Associates will consult with a wide range of stakeholders having completed an MRF evaluation in 2018.
